Written in response to a letter from Bean. Edmonds has been moved by Bean's "unostentatious courage," but is not sure he can comfort him. He writes that he does not believe in God the way the Churches do, but believes in a force of good. He encloses a story that was once printed in the "Atlantic" and which may bring him some comfort.
